Listening to to talk shite on the way home. They said the Norwegian gnome had a fantastic first spell with them and nobody could argue that. So fantastic they sacked him then?! The media coverage these wankers get is nauseating!

Interesting article on BBC. I’ve put a snippet of the article below, the bit I’ve put in bold made me laugh.

Manchester United: Ruben Amorim departure puts spotlight on Jason Wilcox

Who is Manchester United's director of football Jason Wilcox and how did he become one of the most powerful figures in football?
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

More scrutiny on Wilcox means more scrutiny placed on the merits of Manchester United hiring so many staff who have worked at Manchester City.

Wilcox spent 10 years at City, rising to become academy director, before taking over as technical director at Southampton in January 2023.

He oversaw the appointment of Stephen Torpey as academy director in September.

Torpey arrived from Brentford after spending nine years at City.

Alan Wright, set to be on the first-team bench against Burnley on Wednesday to help out interim boss Darren Fletcher, joined United in the autumn as a senior academy coach for the Under-18 to Under-21 age groups. He spent 10 years working with City's Under-16s.

Berrada was chief football operations officer at City before his move to United.

"It's unbelievable," legendary Class of '92 member and former United head of academy Nicky Butt told the Times in an interview in October.

"Every City staff member goes to Man Utd now. Real Madrid wouldn't do it with Barcelona or vice versa."

Hahahahaha.......fucking hell. We're in their heads
 
If they are having a caretaker until end of the season then it looks like the decision to sack Ruben wasn’t planned ahead, sacrificing the season until they can see who is available as they haven’t had any good vibes from the likes of Glasner and Silva

That club is the gift that keeps on giving.
Ex pros like Neville, Ferdinand and Rooney tell them they need to get someone in that knows the Nited way, the DNA of the swamp, blah, blah, blah
So rather than try and get best in class, they do exactly that.
Held talks with Ole, Carrick and Fletcher.
They are in an absolute mess, make no mistake about that.
Read it and weep.

Those at the top are not died-in-the-wool "reds."
Fergie is the only one of the heirarchy to have links to his old regime, otherwise, that DNA has long gone, and is now only found in the mouths of pundits and journalists claiming their shilling off the past, long-gone glory days. The fans can still talk of a DNA that once ran through successful teams 15-30 years ago - so can any set of fans from a successful old club. As for as the modern day reality is concerned, that DNA expired many years ago.

Nicky Butt is correct that the club is rotten from the bottom to the top, and that's because it's in the hands of a bunch of chancers from the USA who've got things sewn-up beautifully, with - for them - a gift horse at the helm who paid massively for a minor share, and has become the unkempt face of mediocrity and underachievement. An unkempt British chancer - with yet another failing sports club under his stewardship. And there he is, ready to take the flak for his American masters.

Butt suggests a rise to the top again within 5-8 years, but on no evidence whatsoever. All fans know that the rise to the top needs - over that period - a spend on players of, maybe £300-400M per season, whilst they sit on a debt already standing at £1.3B; refinancing being required in 12 months or so; looking to tread-water for the next half season, with a significant chance of no "European" money coming in during the foreseeable future. 12 years post Fergie, allegedly world class players and managers have come and gone whilst barely leaving a mark on the club, which is presently threadbare of any truly world class talent, though odd players flatter to deceive the crowd every few games, or so.

It would be quite sad this state of affairs if I wasn't a city fan, taunted by the gobshites for more decades than I care to remember. Who witnessed them joyously pointing to their "Countdown" clock, glorying in our 44 years of failure. Who marked the annual "Munich" anniversary with great respect long before the United board realised they should be capitalising on the disaster - suddenly discovering their "Flowers of Manchester." It's a past that's left me completely absent of any sympathy for the club or it's fans in their pathetic plight, as they look up at the riches of their closest neighbours, wishing...and hoping....."...one day, that's gonna be us again...."

See you at the Theatre of Nightmares very soon for the derby, and a reality check for you, my scummy friends.
